The Supreme Court’s Chiles Decision Is The Obergefell Death Knell
The Supreme Court’s recent ruling strikes down the left’s dogma that homosexuality is immutable, a fundamental pillar of the Obergefell ruling.

In a landmark 8-1 ruling handed down on March 31, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court in Chiles v. Salazar struck a powerful blow for free speech and against the radical LGBT agenda that has dominated American law and culture for far too long. Justice Neil Gorsuch, writing for the majority, declared that Colorado’s ban on so-called “conversion therapy” for minors unconstitutionally regulated speech based on viewpoint.
The state had tried to silence licensed counselors like Kaley Chiles who dared to help clients—often confused young people—explore their sexuality in ways that aligned with Biblical truth and biological reality rather than rainbow ideology. Only Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented, revealing once again the left’s intolerance for anything opposed to its orthodoxy.
This decision is no mere procedural win for therapists. It lays the groundwork for the eventual reversal of Obergefell v. Hodges. MassResistance, the pro-family organization that I work for, has long declared that the LGBT revolution rests on the lies that homosexuality is immutable like race, healthy like traditional marriage, and deserving of promotion in schools and society.
And that false argument was the cornerstone of the United States Supreme Court’s disastrous same-sex “marriage” decision. Thus, Justice Kennedy wrote in Obergefell:
Far from seeking to devalue marriage, the petitioners seek it for themselves because of their respect and need for its privileges and responsibilities. And their immutable nature dictates that same-sex marriage is their only real path to this profound commitment.Advertisement if (window.publir_show_ads) { document.write(''); }

Only in more recent years have psychiatrists and others recognized that sexual orientation is both a normal expression of human sexuality and immutable.
